After my naan post recently, I thought it would only be fair to share a butter chicken recipe with you. After all, you can't have one without the other. I can't tell you the number of times I have gone to an Indian restaurant where my other half ordered a butter chicken and begged, ''Can you make this at home?' I had no choice but to learn how to make this. So I turned to the best chef I know when it comes to Indian cooking- my mom. She has this wonderful knack of trying a meal at a restaurant and then replicating it at home. I slightly modified her recipe by adding a few more spices.

I once read somewhere that butter chicken was created when a hungry man walked into an Indian restaurant and they had no curry left. The chef decided to whip up a quick meal by throwing a tandoori chicken into a simple gravy of butter, tomatoes and a few spices. And thus, butter chicken was born. Also known as murgh makhani, this is curry not for the faint hearted- literally! Originating from Mughlai cuisine, it has lashings of butter (duh!) and cream to give it that dreamy, creamy texture. This is one dish where skimping on these two essential ingredients is not recommended. What I love about this recipe is that it doesn't contain any food coloring to give it that gleaming red color.

Many people love eating Indian food at restaurants but are often intimidated about trying it at home. This recipe is super simple so you'll have no excuse to order take out again. It is best served with steamed rice or butter naan.

If you want the recipe for this finger licking butter chicken, head over to Rasa Malaysia.

And in other exciting news, Aquarius, one of Dubai's best selling magazines, ran a small feature on my blog. I have never been so excited in my life and made the hubby make a special trip just to buy me a copy. Here is my moment of fame. And may there be many more!

I am one of those who orders takeout from Indian restaurants because I don't think I'd be able to replicate a dish as well as they have. You are warming me up to the idea that I'd be able to do this at home. Looks so delicious especially with your naan bread. Yummy! Congratulations on your magazine feature!
